Karla de Beer, a 22-year-old University of Auckland graduate, was crowned Miss World New Zealand 2016 on June 4th at the Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland. She will have the opportunity to compete at Miss World 2016 later this year.

On her Miss Auckland profile, de Beer said she has hopes of starting her own makeup business or becoming a clinical psychologist. She was born in Pretoria, South Africa and moved to New Zealand at the age of eleven.
